Generally speaking, I don't know many people who aren't peach cobbler fans. This is also one of my favorite recipes to eat and not to mention, to make.
Obviously, I made this recipe super easy for you all. I learned how to make peach cobbler from my mother.
Believe it or not, my mom has never made her peach cobbler completely from scratch and obviously, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
But, as long as we don't skimp out on the flavor we're still good right?

- Once the crust is brown, remove it from the oven and pour the filling into the crust.

I'll share a little secret to make the cobbler even better. Instead of using store-bought nutmeg, grate your own.
Another little trick I learned from my mother.
You all, this is a game-changer! It's very simple, but makes a big difference!
Freshly grated seasonings really give the dessert a lot more flavor. The peach cobbler is also great with a side of vanilla ice cream.

I love this recipe...my husband's very favorite and one I can make easily. Thank you so much!
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you very much! I'm glad you all loved it!

Hey there, this reminds me of my grandmother’s peach cobbler so thank you so much for this recipe. My question is about the canned peaches is it heavy or lite syrup or 100% juice. To many choices lol. Thanks again
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you! I like to use heavy syrup because it's thicker than the rest. If you are someone who likes a peach cobbler that's a little "runny" then I would choose the peaches in lite syrup. I have used both. I'm sure the 100% juice option would work just as well as the lite syrup option.
Valerie Minnick says
Thank you for this fabulous, easy recipe. I have made it at least 6 times and it always comes out perfect! The only thing I add is a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving. 🙂 It is definitely one of my husband's favorites.
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you Valerie! I'm so happy that you all love it. I bet it is great with ice cream. I'll have to eat it that way the next time I make it.
Bella says
Did you use two 30oz cans of peaches?
Whip it like Butter says
I use 30 oz of sliced peaches. I usually buy one large can.
Lynda says
haven't made this yet, but sound delicious !! can you use different fruits, like cherries? If so, can, jar and how many?
Whip it like Butter says
Thank you! I have not tried to add fruit to the recipe. The candy is not typically jarred, but it can be frozen.
Paul says
Ingredients dont show vanilla but does in instructions.
Whip it like Butter says
Thank you for catching that! My apologies. It's been fixed.
Dean Cox says
Is this for a 9 x 13"pan? Also do you lay the crust on top of each other?
Whip it like Butter says
It is a 9 x 13 inch pan in the video. If using that size pan you can overlap them as show in the recipe. The video recipe is double of the recipe card. I hope you enjoy!
Cynthia Wiggins says
What do you mean by 'buttered pie crusts'? Do they come buttered? Should I butter the top, bottom, between? The second use of pie crust does not mention butter.
Ashley Frederick says
They do not come buttered so you should butter the top of them- the bottom and top crusts. To make it easier, you can melt the butter and brush the tops of the crusts.

Hi Ashley! I do love peach cobbler! This is a easy recipe indeed, I have a question, why do you use 2 pie crusts?
I would like to try this!
Ashley says
Awesome! The crust is part of what makes the cobbler. The crust used in this recipe is not very thick and forms somewhat of a "blanket" around the filling. I hope you enjoy it!
